Emma Thompson, oh how you confound us
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The hair is great, the dress with jacket is boring but whatever. I guess she thinks that she’s dressing her age, but apparently she thinks that age is 80.
My question is what the heck is she carrying.
It’s a crazy shock of odd color that is so egregiously ill-suited for public viewing that I can only hope the manufactures are donating money to impoverished third world children on the brink of death to justify it’s appearance here.
If the tissues come off, she could have offered them to that weepy bunch of British actresses during their acceptance speeches. At least then it might have been useful, although still an eyesore.

A wayward soul from Las Vegas, Nevada, who now calls St. Louis home and believes that fashion is relative and capricious, but style is always in favor. 
For once we agree. It looks like an oversized shower thingy.
I was thnking a feather duster or swiffer of some sort.
The crew neck does nothing for an over-50 wearer, regardless of her body type. She needs to ask her stylist, What were you thinking? Or, if she doesn’t have a stylist, now’s the time to get one! Is that a handbag or a pet?
The overall look was unflattering and dowdy. I love Emma Thompson, and while I watched the Globes show last night, I saw her seated and didn’t think much either way about her look. When the camera was on her, her animated affect was lovely and compelling, but as soon as she walked onto the stage in that Aunt Tillie outfit, I shook my head in dispair.
